HE IS ALL- HEARING AND ALL- KNOWING THE ALL- SEEING THE ALL-HEARING

In the second the command is given to return the safe-keepings to whom they belong and to judge with justice and these are two qualities that are attached with God. After attributing them to Him the verse says, “ Verily how excellent is the teaching that He gives you! God is He who hears and sees all things.”

The meaning of trust is vast and the traditions of the Ahlulbait tell us that they include the Imamate and the rulership of the people also because these too are the trust of God and you be entrusted and returned to whom they belong. (1)

The word “Naas” includes all people Muslims and non-Muslims or that you should promulgate for the entire mankind because every one (friend or foe) is equal in this regard.

But the real station of the trust and justice as discussed is something else. Inshallah we will discuss it. Our intention here is to speak about the connection between hearing and seeing.

What we mean to say is that no matter which station you are delegated to of trust, justice and rulership God is watching your deeds and hearing your words. So the qualities of God here are connected with the attributes here and it keeps the aim of nurturing and human development in view.

This may be pointing to another point that it is necessary to have the ears that can hear and the eyes that can see for rulership and justice as far as trust is concerned. This work can not be done properly without hearing the pleas and seeing their plight of the oppressed people.

The word “Kana” denotes that these two attributes revert to God only who was always all-hearing and all-seeing and still is. In may verses this hearing and seeing have been mentioned together. It should be noted where it has been so the word hearing always comes before the word seeing.

It may denote that normally among mankind speech comes before character and word is before deed. Since these words also desire human development they say that God is hearing your words and now sees your deeds.
